To be honest, this post has less to do with failure and more to do with personal innovation from within the corporate structure—the struggle to make change happen, to get your ideas implemented if you aren’t in a senior leadership position.
In 2007, Doug Hall suggested that businesses should Fail Fast, Fail Cheap when it comes to innovation. Specifically he showed the business sense of failing quickly and cheaply:
Background: I recently had the honor of writing a guest post for Abby Wambaugh. Excited to add some snark from another voice, I asked her to reciprocate. Excluding projects like ideaAnglers, this is the first time that I’ve asked someone to return the guest-post favor.
Entrepreneur.com recently blogged about biz/tech journo Michael S. Malone’s new book: The Future Arrived Yesterday: The Rise of the Protean Corporation and What It Means for You.
Malone argues that Gen Y (or the millennials, or whatever you want to call us) isn’t a hard-working or loyal generation, but it’s one that will, as Entrepreneur puts it:
“Accelerate the nation’s evolution form a corporate economy of worker bees to an entrepreneurial one of innovative thinkers and rapid change.”
While that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (sorry “worker bees”), I’m a little miffed about the hard-work/loyalty crack. I don’t think that loyalty and hard work are the point.
